It's a good laugh, but I'll probably never touch it again unless my friends bite too. It's really one of those games that only makes sense online.
Combat is fun enough, quite repetitive though. Do you unlock additional skills MMO style?
The world is huge. I mean obviously, it's essentially infinite, but I mean it feels epic. I was wandering around a town and somebody said "Have you been to something something mountains yet? I've marked it on your map". So I went cross country, took about 20 minutes to reach it without a mount, on the way I stumbled on an old ruin, inside were an angry mob of undead that drove me out. I might have had a chance if I was with someone. I found some simple caves and loads of different mobs on the way and the terrain is lovely is a similar way that Minecraft is beautiful in a low tech manner. I logged out when I reached the mountains. I'm not really sure what the peaks had to offer, if there was some caves or dungeons or whatever then they eluded me.
I was getting destroyed by virtually everything, I wasn't using my second attack enough though which proved pretty lethal once you get used to the timing of MP replenishing. I enjoyed the difficulty though, I stumbled accross a huge Ogre in a forest on the way to the mountains, I had to run for my life. There were plenty of other creatures I had to leg it from as well.
I might have another little bash, but I'm mostly going to wait until it's released I think.
